Sofitel Baru Calablanca Beach Resort

The most wonderful experience!!! The hotel is beautiful, the food awesome, specially Humo restaurant!!! But the Best experience was the excellent service!! From the recepcionist, the waiters the cart drivers, the service at the beach. In all my travels, which have been many, I have never experieced such wonderful service!!!! I pray that I will be able to come back… soon!!!

We visited for the day with a day pass — well worth it! We returned by boat, which made for a wonderful experience. I really enjoyed the paddleboards available on-site and the beautiful beach.

The food was excellent, which was a priority for us. We stayed for 4 nights. Having multiple pools was great, so that it never felt crowded. Beautiful beach. Very clean. And the live music night (they played salsa, cumbia, & merengue) was lots of fun! We also spent 3 nights at Las Islas Barú, in the nature park. If, like us, you're on the fence between the 2 properties I can tell you they're both very different. Both are excellent and luxurious. The Sofitel wins hands down on food, while Las Islas had a more off- the-beaten-path feel to the beach and having a room with our own pool was nice. At the end of the week, i preferred Sofitel while my husband slightly preferred Las Islas.

My husband and I have just spent 7 nights at Sofitel Baru calablanca celebrating our honeymoon and we have had the most wonderful time. The resort is big however the layout of each section makes it feel very intimate and never overcrowded. It was busier over the weekend but the only busy place was breakfast at peak times however we still had no issues with getting served. The staff at the hotel are truly exemplary and really are 5 star. Every staff member we met treated us with kindness even though our Spanish was not good. The staff were always there if we needed them but left us to relax and enjoy. The food in all the restaurants was excellent and we particularly enjoyed Bahia and Calablanca. We were left with daily surprises in our room which elevated our experience, our comfort and left us feeling very welcomed. Diego who works in Calablanca is an asset to the Sofitel group, he was so friendly and kind and when he realised I was trying to learn Spanish he helped me endlessly and speaking to him was a highlight of our trip. There were countless staff that were superior including Camilo & Cristian who helped us navigate the resort and welcomed us warmly every time we crossed their paths. Shirley O & Adriana O who serviced our room and left us kind notes in our room. Also Claudia Martinez and Paula from the guest relations team who kept checking everything was going well with our stay. Yason and Edgar at the beach who were kind, welcoming and accommodating. Also we did not get the names of the staff at the adult only pool however they were excellent, truly, their customer service was great and we felt very comfortable and looked after by them. Thank you so much for your hospitality, we can’t wait to return.

Stayed for 4 nights. Excellent hotel. Lovely location with great views. New and facilities were well maintained. Kids villa well setup. The suites were good size and very comfortable. Breakfast and service was great. Humo restaurant was standout. You need to get driving directions to the hotel by contacting concierge as google maps tries to send you down a closed road. We had 3 rooms booked with the hotel including a suite. Would have been great if there was an added perk for having a number of rooms booked. Christian, Carolina, Brenda and Miguel did a great job is making our stay memorable. Also Kudos to Alex for engaging hotel guest on their experience at the hotel face to face.
